Comment on Ask HN: How to redeem a gift card without risking lock-out?parent

Comments

This will 100% never work, it is exactly the kind of thing Amazon etc will prevent. There is not a single business that accepts gift cards that will not immediately flag this and kill the account. It is the first thing you’d write if you were in charge of this, right?

Have you tried it?

Amazon ($25) and iCloud (this one was $10, bought from apple.com), both killed the account, did not try others but safe to assume results would be the same
